Makanda Inn and Cottages offers electric car charging

Makanda Inn & Cottages, also know as, Southern Illinois Premier Eco-friendly retreat is proud to announce electric car charging stations. The Inn offers two Tesla Destination Chargers and a Universal Charger for other brand Electric Cars. Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint continues with this great new amenity. Our guests who drive electric cars will get complimentary charging while staying with us.

This combined with our continuation of upgrading all of our lights to LED bulbs takes us closer to the forefront of green practices. The Inn and Cottages are all built out of straw bales. Building methods used on the Inn were further refined in our cottages. The two bedroom cottage utilizes minimal amounts of conventional building materials. The cottage is a shining example of what can be done with local and renewable materials. Take a video tour of the Inn.

Makanda Inn & Cottages is a prototype retreat development of Camp Zest Inc. We are proud to be part of this awesome undertaking to demonstrate the possibility of upscale lodging in naturally built structures.
